A Mediterranean diet is recommended as a cardioprotective dietary paradigm for diabetic patients, characterized by high fruit/vegetable/grain/legume/nut/olive oil intake and moderate fish/poultry/egg consumption.
Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive oil. Eat moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and eggs. Limit red meat, processed meats, and sweets. This pattern helps protect your heart and manage diabetes.
